 /etc/tor/torrc becomes /etc/torrc

 new folder /etc/tor.d/

 /etc/torrc comes with reasonable defaults (just the same file as
 /etc/tor/torrc currently does).

 /etc/tor.d/ can be used by third party applications. For example a
 blogging software wouldn't need to ask the user to modify torrc or to
 somehow hack it, it could just drop a file inside /etc/tor.d/.

 Or someone could make a package tor-flashproxy, which installs
 /etc/tor.d/flashproxy which makes the machine a flashproxy.

 If you ever add new comments to torrc or new (default out commented)
 options, there is no conflict with other packages relying on torrc.
